Delhi Capitals needed 36 runs to win the final against the Rajasthan Royals, but when? Rovman Powell hit two sixes of the first two balls, the Rishabh Pant-led side began to believe. At the third delivery of the over, Rajasthan pacer Obed McCoy threw a full toss and Rovman sent it for another six. However, the Delhi Capitals thought it was a no-ball and the players started gesturing from the dugout. Shortly afterwards, Pant was seen gesturing to the two batters coming off the field.
It was then that assistant coach Shane Watson popped in to talk to Rishabh Pant. However, after the conversation, Pant went to another assistant coach Pravin Amre and the former cricketer made his way to the pitch to talk to field umpire Nitin Menon.
The photo of Watson speaking with Pant has now gone viral on social media.
Watson said ‘go do a Dhoni 2.0,’ one fan tweeted.
